"some kind of offer may not have to wait...presentations in the Far East..."
I have thought that too--just that it is within the realm of possibility and that would be a welcome development. I wonder how many of the 10 to...15? potential partners are still viable candidates still in some type of discussion or if any of them have been eliminated for some reason. We'd never know that, but it'd be nice to know that at LEAST "several" are still negotiating or talking to LBSR.
